Caution - Use the installation scripts and the setup scripts provided with the Sun Management Center 3.5 software. Do not manually add packages or manually change configuration files.

Your Sun Management Center 3.5 installation and setup scripts or GUI panels may not display exactly the same messages in exactly the same sequence as the examples shown in this chapter. However, these examples show the basic messages you will receive in approximately the sequence you will receive them. Your actual installation and setup scripts depend on the add-on components you choose to install and other choices you make.

Sun Enterprise 6500/5500/4500/3500 System-Specific Packages

The Sun Enterprise 6500/5500/4500/3500 system-specific packages received with the Sun Management Center 3.5 basic functionality are listed in TABLE 1-1. Refer to the Sun Management Center 3.5 Software Installation and Configuration Guide for information about general Sun Management Center prerequisites.

Chapter 6, "Installation and Setup" of the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide, describes in detail how to install all the software. An overview of the process follows.

1. As superuser, run the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation Wizard, es-guiinst, as described in Chapter 6, "Installation and Setup," of the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide.

2. After the base software is installed, the Select Add-on Product screen provides a selectable list of add-on products that you can install. Select those add-ons that apply to Sun Enterprise systems, and click Next.

3. The Sun Management Center Setup Wizard starts automatically after all the software is installed.

This section describes how to set up the Sun Enterprise add-on software using the Sun Management Center 3.5 Setup Wizard.

Note - When the Back button at the bottom of a panel is enabled (not grayed out), you can click on it to take you back to the previous operation. When the back button is grayed out (not enabled), you cannot go back to the previous operation.

Note - Be sure you click Store Response Data during the Sun Management Center 3.5 base software setup process if you want to use the setup-responses-file to duplicate the setup on the current machine on other machines. That way all of your responses will be stored in /var/opt/SUNWsymon/install/setup-responses-file. For more information, refer to "Setting Up Base Products and Add-ons on the Solaris Platform" in the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide.

To Set Up Sun Enterprise 6500/5500/4500/3500 Add-on Software

On any host where you want to set up the add-on software, type es-guisetup to start the Sun Management Center 3.5 Setup Wizard.

The add-on software is automatically set up.

Updating Multiple Hosts Using Agent Update

This section describes how to update multiple hosts at once using Agent Update. The Agent Update process itself must be run on the Sun Management Center server machine. You also need to ensure that Sun Management Center 3.5 agents are running on all the target hosts.

Before You Start the Agent Update Process

To use Agent Update to fully install and set up the Sun Enterprise platform agent modules, you must create an Agent Update configuration file for the module on the target hosts, before you run the Agent Update Process on the Sun Management Center server machine.

Note - Be sure you click Store Response Data during the Sun Management Center 3.5 base software setup process if you want to use the setup-responses-file to duplicate the setup on the current machine on other machines. That way all of your responses will be stored in /var/opt/SUNWsymon/install/setup-responses-file. For more information, refer to "Setting Up Base Products and Add-ons on the Solaris Platform" in the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide.

This procedure applies only to updating from Sun Management Center 3.5 add-on software.

1. Create an Image File of the desired Sun Enterprise add-on components to be distributed to the desired agent machines using one of the base Sun Management Center scripts es-gui-imagetool or es-imagetool.

Refer to Chapter 8, "Post-Installation Tasks," in the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide for detailed instructions about using either the Wizard or the CLI Image Tool.

If you want the Task to run immediately, click the radio button to the left of Run Immediately.

If you want to set a schedule for when the Task is to run, click the radio button to the left of Schedule Job, and set the schedule.

Note - Before you select objects (agent machines) where you want the Image File, you can create a group object containing all your agent machines. That way you do not have to select one agent machine at a time. Refer to Chapter 3, "To Create a Group," in the Sun Management Center 3.5 User's Guide for more information about creating object groups.

d. Do one of the following to select the objects (agent machines) to which you want to distribute the Image File.

Click the radio button to the left of All Objects in Domain to select all objects, and specify any filter you want to use to further select objects.

Click the radio button to the left of Selected Objects in Main Window to select one object at a time.

e. Preview the objects (agent machines) you have selected and redo your selections if necessary.

f. Click the Add Job button.

The job starts and distributes the Image File to the objects (agent machines) you selected. When the job is running, it appears in the Job list of the Manage Jobs panel. The panel shows the status of the job when running and when complete.

Note - When updating multiple hosts, any failure of a host results in a Failed status even though the majority of the hosts might have been updated successfully. Click on View Log to the right of the Jobs list on the Manage Jobs panel to see an individual list of the updates that succeeded and the updates that failed. If the Agent Update process did succeed, the Sun Management Center agents should restart automatically. You can open a host Details window on the Sun Management center console to each of the targeted hosts, and verify that the expected modules are present and working.

To create an agent-update image using es-gui-imagetool, follow the instructions in "To Create an Agent-Update Image Using es-gui-imagetool" in the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide.

To create an agent-update image using es-imagetool, follow the instructions in "To Create an Agent-Update Image Using es-imagetool" in the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide.
